Day 38: Doctor's Office 6 [Dr. Wilson] [Fourth Shift]

[damned-doctors.livejournal.com]

Well, Wilson's session with Caleb had gone surprisingly well. It was a good start to the week, but the doctor knew better than to think that it would continue. After a few weeks here, he had come to realize that there was going to be at least one patient that gave him a hard time. It was usually during the first session with a patient that it happened, and they generally mellowed out after that.

He supposed he should take that as a good sign - maybe as a sign of healing - but he usually never had a direct influence on which patients were discharged, so he had to wonder what good his work was doing here. It all seemed very arbitrary, and once again he had to question the competence of the man running this place.

But for now, all he could do was focus on the patients. The two who were seeing him this afternoon were new names to him, so he didn't really know what to expect. All he could do was wait.

Everything that Takanaga said made perfect sense, so it was the extreme he was taking his ideals to that changed him from having a strong opinion to being mentally ill. Or that was what Wilson could gather, just from what he was hearing here.

When the question was turned back on him, though, the doctor had to pause for a moment. He didn't mind being on the defensive, but he did want to give an accurate answer. He skimmed the file for a moment before looking back to the patient.

"It's all black and white, right? But as far as I can tell, there are always going to be exceptions, or times when the choice isn't that simple." Trying to rope in his life in such a way might make it easier for Takanaga, but it wasn't going to help in the long run.

"Anyway, I agree that people who are harmful need to be punished, but why by death?" he asked.

Once again Mikami found himself staring back at the doctor with a look icy enough to sink the Titanic. The answer to Wilson's question was obvious enough to him, at least, and unlike most of the other "patients," Wilson likely didn't even have the luxury of never having heard the name before. Even his "mother" had mentioned it, and Mello had mentioned that Kira was the link that tied he and the others from his world together. Although Mikami didn't trust the young man, in this situation there was probably little reason for him to have lied.

"They must die because that is what Kira's actions decree," he said simply, and thought of his mother's death alongside the others who had been unrighteous, even before Kira had begun to make himself so publicly known.

Takanaga's ideas were disturbingly simple. It was the sort of thing a sane person couldn't subscribe to, even if it might have been a load off not having to question yourself all the time.

But why all of this devotion to Kira? The man's file was littered with the name. "And why do you idolize Kira so much? What drew you to him in the first place?" It wasn't like he had all of the details down on paper, after all, and if he kept working at it maybe he could start to get an idea of how this man's mind really worked, and why it worked that way.
